Mar 19, 2019
OpenJDK 11 (LTS)

Focused more on removal than addition—we bid farewell to all of the APIs under the java.se.ee aggregator module (CORBA, JAX-B and JAX-WS) and the Oracle JDK lost the browser plugin (surely, the end of applets), Java Web Start and JavaFX.

Sep 25, 2018
OpenJDK 10

Brought local variable type inference, with "var" introduced to the Java language, in the first release under the new six-month release cadence.

Learn More
Mar 20, 2018
OpenJDK 9

Introduced Project Jigsaw, the Java Platform Module System. A contentious development which involved delays to the release of OpenJDK 9 after the JCP took the unprecedented step of voting against the public review of JSR 376., leading to changes to the encapsulation of internal APIs and a reconsideration ballot.

Learn More
Sep 21, 2017
OpenJDK 8 (LTS)

Contained probably the biggest changes to Java since its introduction in the form of Lambda expressions and the Streams API, which add functional-style programming. This has proved to be a hugely popular feature and got many developers excited about using Java again.
